Welcome to the villa, Teddy (Picture: ITV)

The Love Island villa is already getting plenty hot and bothered this summer, with contestants recoupling faster than we can keep up with!

We recently saw Kaz Kamwi and Rachel Finni dumped by Toby Aromolaran and Brad McClelland – so now seems the perfect time to introduce a new hunk.

Queue new contestant Teddy Soares, who has his trunks packed and is ready to get to know the ladies of the villa.

Here is what we know about the new boy Teddy…

Who is Teddy Soares from Love Island?

Teddy is a 26-year-old from Manchester who said that he is ‘not afraid to step on toes to get the girl I want.’

While that may sound like he’s ready to get competitive, Teddy has also described himself as ‘cuddly and caring’ (fitting for a guy named Teddy), who has something to offer to both the lads in the villa and his potential love interests.

‘All my friends, when they have an issue, they call me and confide in me. I’m always that person to lean on. I think I’m going to add that element with the boys.

‘From a girls’ standpoint, they’re going to have to get used to me stirring a few pots and causing a bit of a ruckus. I do think hopefully, me walking into the villa the girls will have something to look at.’

When asked why he is entering the villa, he opened up with his thoughts about settling down: ‘I think I’m ready for love now. Law of attraction is probably what I believe in, so being in the villa is part of that thought process.’

‘I’m not getting any younger,’ he said. ‘I’ve always been the type of guy to be in long relationships. Never broken three years though. If I do find someone in the villa, I’m going to take it seriously.’

While he has not revealed which contestant(s) he has his eye on, he is keen to get to know all the girls to find the perfect match.

What job does Teddy Soares have?

Teddy works as a senior financial consultant at a firm in Manchester.

This means that he helps to find accessible and easy funding solutions for professional and corporate businesses across the UK.
